Details

This interactive program will allow students to practice networking skills with law school alumni employed in government, public interest, and the private sector. There will be three stations for students to practice networking skills:

1. Introducing yourself at a tabling event.
2. Conducting informational interviews.
3. Joining and participating in small group conversations, similar to those at networking receptions.

Prior to the event, students should review the Networking Guide on the CDO website here. Students should prepare brief introductions about themselves (an “elevator pitch”) and questions to ask alumni about their backgrounds and practice areas. For preparing questions to ask, refer to page 4 of the Networking Guide.

Students planning to conduct informational interviews should review the Informational Interviews Guide on the CDO website here. Sample questions are located on page 3 of the Informational Interviews Guide. Students should prepare 4-5 questions.

Time will be available at the end of the event for Q&A.

Students with questions about how to prepare for this program should contact their primary counselor in the CDO.

This event is intended for UCI Law students only.
